Clive Nolan to play 3 musicals in 2 days

Clive Nolan will celebrate his musicals by performing all three works – She, Beyond The Veil and Alchemy – over two days in September.

He’ll play She on September 4 at Cheltenham’s Playhouse Theatre, followed by Beyond The Veil in the venue’s Green Room on the afternoon of September 5. That night he’ll deliver Alchemy in the main auditorium.

And the Arena, Pendragon and Shadowland composer has warned that The Fire And The Quest event is already close to selling out.

Nolan tells Prog: “I’m marking 10 years of working on the musicals. We’re performing a new version of She on the Friday, then a bonus acoustic show with guests on the Saturday afternoon, then the ‘off West End’ production of Alchemy on the Saturday evening – followed by the inevitable after-party in the green room.”

He adds: “The vibe will probably be one of a convention, with people gathering around in the local area. I estimate that 70% of the audience is coming from outside the UK.”

The weekend will be filmed for future release via Metal Mind Productions. More information can be found at Nolan’s website.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
